"My beauty, hold on! I'm sure I can save you!"
At the critical moment, Xiang Wan erected the iron pillar, its pointed end already more than a meter longer than the stone pillar.
I don't know if it works or not, but that's how lightning rods are made.
Xiang Wan forcefully inserted the iron pillar into the stone platform, then took out a pair of cloth shoes and placed them under the beauty's feet.
"You are defying the will of Heaven. It's not worth it for me!"
The beauty was finally moved and stopped treating her so coldly and pushing her away.
Xiang Wan hugged the beauty. If the iron pillar didn't work, at least she could share half of the beauty's pain, right?
With a crack, lightning illuminated the entire execution platform, and a tingling sensation ran through my body and went straight to my feet.
Xiang Wan was stunned for a moment. The pain she had imagined did not come. When she looked at the iron pillar again, it had been burned to ashes.
She succeeded, and holding the beauty in her arms, she wept with joy.
"My beauty, I can finally save you."
"Little Fox, how could you be so foolish? You're willing to risk your life for me?"
"My love, from the moment you saved me, I will never abandon you!"
"Ha, you silly fox."
Xiang Wan smiled, and the beauty smiled too.
So what if they're both stupid? They're both stupid, so it's a good match for each other.
"The next heavenly lightning strike will take several more hours."
Xiang Wan didn't reply. She reached out and opened the beauty's clothes, looking at the numerous burns on his body, some new and some old, densely packed!
"Does it hurt a lot?"
With a light touch of her finger, the beauty trembled slightly, and said with a mix of helplessness and amusement, "This little injury can heal on its own; it's not as serious as you think."
"You didn't come to find me. Is it because you don't want to go, or because you can't go?"
The beauty remained silent, and Xiang Wan understood, feeling even more heartache.
"I'll take the invisibility jade pendant with me. You can use it when you go out later."
"Little fox, are you crazy? Releasing people without permission is going against the entire Heavenly Realm. How can a little fox like you bear such a responsibility?"
Go back to the Demon Realm, and don't come back. I'm fine, don't worry.
"What's so good about it? You're suffering here while that person is about to get married. Don't you want to stop it?"
The beauty was stunned, a bitter smile tugging at the corner of her lips.
"You found out?"
"Anyone with eyes can see this. How long are you going to hold on? If you like someone, go for it. If you love someone, don't let go. Isn't that human nature?"
"Little Fox, you don't understand. There's no possibility between us."
"So you're just going to watch him marry someone else? You clearly like each other, why torture each other?"
Xiang Wan's heart ached a little.
Knowing full well that the beauty possessed fragments of his soul, he still had no choice but to push him away.
Faced with the choice between preserving his fragmented soul and sacrificing their love, Xiang Wan chose the latter.
As long as you don't die, anything is possible, so why be attached to this life?
"You're still young. Some things can't be explained in just a few words."
"I don't care, all I know is that I have to get you out of here and stop him from getting married!"
The beauty remained silent for a moment, then asked a completely unrelated question.
"Little Fox, what kind of person do you think he is?"
At a time like this, who has the leisure to talk about this?
Xiang Wan didn't want to answer, but seeing the beauty's persistent gaze, she replied irritably, "Besides being a little better looking, having a higher cultivation level, and having a special identity, I don't see any advantages. But she has endless ways of tormenting this fox."
"You don't want him to marry someone else, right?"
"Of course, since he's the one you hold dear, I can't betray you. Even if I have to stay single for life, I can't marry another woman!"
"Hehe, little fox, I didn't expect you to be so domineering."
"It's not that I'm being domineering, it's that I feel sorry for you, my beauty! You're suffering here, what right does he have to consummate the marriage?"
"Then, can I ask you for a favor?"
"My beauty, you can do it yourself after you leave. Why do you need to ask me for help?"
Please!
Xiang Wan was speechless. In her mind, someone as beautiful as her shouldn't be asked for the word "begging".
I beg you!
Xiang Wan fell silent. "Beauty, are you planning to leave your last words?"
"If you want to die, I'll go with you, so you don't need to ask me, because I don't want to do it either."
"Little Fox, you're overthinking it. I just asked you to deliver a letter to me."
Xiang Wan was suspicious. Was it really that simple?
"I won't die, and you don't need to come with me. Don't worry, I'll be fine. Once you return with the letter, I might not be punished."
Xiang Wan felt a little relieved that the beauty spoke with certainty.
"Where's the letter? To whom is it sent?"
"You wait outside first, I'll have the Immortal Lord Zhiming give it to you."
"good!"
Xiang Wan walked out, turning back every few steps. The beauty nodded, putting her at ease.
As soon as she stepped outside, she saw the old man nod at her and go back inside.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, the Immortal Lord of Destiny came out and invited Xiang Wan in.
"Little Fox, I never knew your name, so I took it upon myself to give you a name, Hu Xiangwan. If you don't like it..."
"Okay, let's call her Hu Xiangwan!"
It turns out that the original owner's name was given by a beauty!
"The letter is in the hands of the Immortal Lord of Destiny. He will send you out of the Heavenly Realm. Take the letter with you and go to find Mingyan. Remember, do not open it on the way. I have put a seal on it."
So mysterious?
"Xiang Wan, I know you're worried about me, so after you leave, the Immortal Lord of Destiny will plead for me. As long as your letter reaches you, Father Emperor will release me. If you don't want me to suffer more lightning punishment, you must act quickly!"
